PUMPKIN CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Grind graham crackers in a food processor (or, if you don't have a food processor, place them in a large Ziploc and pound 'em with a rolling pin.) Add powdered sugar and melted butter and process until totally combined.
• Press into the bottom and sides of a pie pan until nice and firm. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until warm and "set." Remove from oven and allow crust to cool completely.
• In a medium saucepan, mix dry pudding mix with half-and-half and cream. Add spices. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is bubbly and thick.
• Remove from heat and stir in whiskey, if using. Add pumpkin and stir to combine. Place lid on pot and set aside to cool. When cool enough, place pot in the fridge to cool completely.
• When mixture is cool, remove from the fridge. In a mixing bowl, add 1/2 cup heavy cream and brown sugar. Beat until very light and fluffy. Fold in pumpkin cream mixture until combined.
• Pour into cooled crust.
• Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours or overnight. Serve with graham crackers crumbled on top.

HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN PIE SPICE

Steps:

• Whisk together cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves in a small bowl until well combined. Store in a small jar or container.

PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Make the dough: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor. Add the shortening; pulse until it disappears, about 30 seconds. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter. Beat 2 tablespoons ice water and the egg in a bowl, then add to the processor and pulse once or twice. (Stop before the dough gathers into a ball.) Turn out onto a sheet of plastic wrap and pat into a disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Roll the dough into a 13-inch round on a lightly floured surface (or between 2 pieces of floured parchment paper). Ease into a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish glass pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edges with your fingers. Pierce the bottom all over with a fork and chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Line the crust with foil, then fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges are golden, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and continue baking until the crust is golden all over, 10 to 15 more minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• Make the filling: Whisk the pumpkin, brown sugar, eggs, half-and-half, ginger, cinnamon, allspice and cloves in a bowl. Pour into the crust; bake until the edges are set but the center quivers, 1 hour to 1 hour, 15 minutes. (Cover the edges of the crust with foil if they brown too quickly.) Cool completely on a rack. Serve with whipped cream.

CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• For the ganache: Put the chocolate in a bowl. Heat the cream in a saucepan over medium heat until hot. Add the vanilla. Pour over the chocolate pieces and mix until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is combined.
• For the marshmallow whipped cream: In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the marshmallow cream and butter until combined, about 30 seconds.
• In a mixer fitted with whisk attachment, whisk the cream in a separate mixer bowl until frothy. Lower the speed and gradually add the powdered sugar. When added, increase the speed and whisk until stiff peaks form. Add the marshmallow and butter mixture to the cream and whisk until smooth.
• For the pie: Pour the ganache over the pumpkin layer. Let set at room temperature for 40 minutes or flash-chill in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Pile the marshmallow whipped cream over the ganache in a high-domed mound--scale is everything. Insert seasonal chocolate lollipops in the marshmallow whipped cream.

PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: On a lightly floured surface, roll the pie dough into a 13-inch round. Transfer the crust to a 9-inch pie plate that is at least 1 1/2 inches deep. Tuck the edges of the crust under to be even with the edge of the pie plate and crimp. Prick the surface of the crust all over with a fork and place the crust in the refrigerator for 60 minutes (or freezer for 30 minutes). Preheat the oven to 400˚. Line the inside of the crust with parchment paper, then fill to the top with baking weights or dried beans.
• Bake the pie crust for 13-15 minutes, until the edges look dry and just begin to take on a bit of color. Remove your crust from the oven and then, carefully remove the parchment paper and pie weights. (Place the pie weights into a bowl to cool off.) Return the crust to the oven and bake for another 4-6 minutes, just until the bottom of the crust appears dry.
• For the filling: Whisk well to combine the pumpkin, cream, and sugars. Whisk in the pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, eggs and egg yolk until thoroughly combined.
• Pour the filling into the pie crust and place on a baking sheet. Bake 50 to 55 minutes, until set around the edges and the center jiggles just slightly. Cool completely on a wire rack. Serve immediately with whipped cream or refrigerate.
• For the butter-pecan whipped cream: Place the butter in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment to whip it up a bit. Add the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar to the bowl. Beat at medium-low or medium speed until you see the cream beginning to thicken. Add the pecan liqueur and continue beating until soft peaks form. Serve immediately.

PUMPKIN SMOOTHIES

Steps:

• Spoon the pumpkin pie filling into muffin cups, then cover with aluminum foil and freeze.
• When you're ready to make the smoothies, add the milk and yogurt to a blender. Pop 4 pieces of frozen pumpkin pie filling out of the pan and add them to the blender. (Save the rest of the pie filling for another time, or for a second batch of smoothies if one isn't enough to calm the hungry beasts.) Add the cinnamon and blend until the mixture is totally smooth.
• Pour into glasses and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs.

Steps:

• Prepare the crust by rolling out the pie dough onto a lightly floured surface into a 13-inch circle. Place the crust in a 9-inch pie plate that is at least 1 1/2 inches deep.
• Crimp the crust's edges to be even with the edge of the pie plate. Put the crust in the refrigerator for 60 minutes (or the freezer for 30 minutes) after pricking it all over with a fork.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. The inside of the crust should be lined with parchment paper, then fill with baking weights or dried beans.
• Bake the pie crust for 13-15 minutes, until the edges are dry and just beginning to brown. After removing your crust from the oven, carefully remove the parchment paper and pie weights. (Place the pie weights into a bowl to cool off.)
• Return the crust to the oven and bake for another 4-6 minutes, just until the crust is dry on the bottom.
• Combine pumpkin, cream, and sugars in a bowl and whisk well. Combine pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, eggs, and egg yolk.
• The pie filling should be poured into the pie crust and placed on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until the cake, is set around the edges and jiggling just slightly in the center.
• Let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate or serve immediately with whipped cream.
• To make the butter-pecan whipped cream, place the butter in a large bowl and beat it with an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment.
• Next, add the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar to the bowl. As the cream begins to thicken, beat at medium-low or medium speed for a few minutes.
